MIPJunior Spotlight: Those Licensing People

An ordinary 4-year-old boy wished so hard on a shooting star that his dreams came true and he got his extraordinary friend, Dinosaur, in the preschool series Boy and the Dinosaur, one of Those Licensing People’s highlights.

Girls are from Venus, boys are from Mars and Earth is a battleground in Boys vs Girls. The series, which is presented in 3D animation, puts a new twist on the age-old conflict. Best friends Rollie the Rollercoaster and Tootie the Runaway Train learn to cope with the ups and downs of everyday life in Rollie & Friends.

“Each of these properties has been created to fill a niche in early children’s viewing, and they are collectively supported by fully scored musical backgrounds,” says Russell Dever, the managing director of Those Licensing People.

He adds: “MIPCOM this year is less about the sale of our own properties and more about the acquisition of rights that we can exploit in a digital marketplace.”
